Nature
Warrior Peak is a double-summit mountain in Olympic National Park and the eleventh-highest peak in Washington’s Olympic Mountains, rising just above 7,320 feet. Near Mount Constance and visible from Seattle’s skyline, it gained its present name after Fred Beckey’s first recorded ascent in 1945, when he solo climbed both summits. The peak holds a place in Northwest mountaineering history and divides runoff between the Dungeness and Big Quilcene river systems. Its rugged twin summits reflect the Olympics’ marine west coast climate and a geologic history of oceanic crust, sedimentary rock, and repeated Pleistocene glaciation and erosion.
